       In the article Our National Eating Disorder, which is written by Michael Pollan, he analyzes the eating disorder in the U.S. currently, there are some reasons leads to this problem. In America, people always prefer to listen to some specialist’s advices like Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, but author thinks those persons’ theories not all correct, this is a reason why American’s eating habit will became disorder. Another reason why U.S. residents will become disorder when they eating is they like to eat deserts like doughnut, cheesecake or a chocolate cake, and when they finish them, they are begin to feel guilty, those foods lead them to obesity.

       The author also uses French to compare with the Americans. French also like to eat delicious foods, but they are less disorder than American’s eating habit. French like to eat a small portions, like the author say, “they eat small portions and don't go back for seconds; they don't snack; they seldom eat alone, and communal meals are long, leisurely affairs” Maybe they can control themselves better than Americans.

       In my opinion, a healthy diet habit is so significant to every person. If everybody have a better diet habit, people can live more comfortable and they can live longer. As for me, my diet habit is not very order; I always just eat one time in all day, and I always smock lots of time in every day. Now I always feel very bad, I think after read this article, I should change my eating habit a lot.
